i think all that chris christie, all that was missing from the interview was a christie 2016 t-shirt. he's the worst surrogate ever. >> or maybe the best. >> i don't know. i think it is true that the stakes are higher for mitt romney. what the president wants is stays is. if the race remains as it is now he's in good shape. romney needs a big moment and the risk is he'll push too hard to get it. he'll have the zingers in mind understanding he needs it to be a big moment he'll try too hard and come across poorly to the audience. your earlier discussion the few people who say they're undecided what they say they want, we make fun of the undecided, but to a person they almost say they want is specifics. i need to know what this person is going to do. the pressure is on romney are multiple. he has to give enough specifics so undecideds can understand his plans without really telling people what he wants to do because it's unpopular? >> in another life i would like to come back as an undecided voter from ohio. >> that's it. >> the bottom line is, that the lack of specificity offered by rom
